There are times when family is bigger than career and you need to figure things out.  And often, bread and baking becomes the way forward.  That's what happened to Mark Gavigan and Kristin Ryall, who gave up careers in the wine trade to relocate to Palm Springs to be closer to their family, and Mark fell into baking in a big way.

In this episode, Mark, Kristin and your host Mark talk about the experience of giving it all up to move cross country, how baking started small and then grew and grew until they opened their brick and mortar location, and the challenging reality of baking in an extremely hot, extremely seasonal location.

There is also talk about the Bakery Leadership Circle, Mark's new project offered via the BBGA
